4 Tame and Tranquil Season.
New York Herald.


Mr.. NJ. \. Needer of LYONS. y. Y.
writes to the Herald suggesting that the
recent decline of solar activity. mani
Tested by the absence of splendid au-
roras, magnetic storms and vast areas
upon the sun glowing with brilliant
points of faculse, as existed "A year ago,
partly explains the remarkable tameness
of the season. There can be but little
question that in America the month of
May and the first week of June have
been exceptionally free from cyclonic
storms. tornadoes and all tempests. On
the western side of the North Atlantic
there have been few if any strong cy-
clones since the 10th of Nav.
But that this tranquility of the season
Is largely or mainly due to "A decli ne of
solar activity is very doubtful. There
have been very severe storms in Europe
and an early cyclone in the Indian
Ocean not To mention the North Allan
tic hurricane (Which however did not re-
veal its movements on the American
coasts of Nav 1924. If Mr.. Needer's
explanation is the correct one, why has
not the season been as tame in Europe
and the East as in America:
The protracted tranquility of the
weather in this country has more proba
bly, been due, as was the prOtracted
drought, to the prevalence or dry anti
cyclones of high barometer moving
southwark from the higher ATTITUDES and
retarding the northward movement of
southerly winds. AS in May and June
the free flow of the moist tropical air
currents into the interior of the country
depends upon the decrease of at
mospheric pressure in the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri valleys and
the lake regions, and as the press
ure appears to have been exceptionally
high, our continental storms have for
this reason lacked the moisture requisite
to give them intensity. But this state
of things will probably soon be changed,
whether the solar activity declines or in
creases. And upon the suns arrival al
the solstice, within "A fortnight, may
expect "A much more lively display OF
cyclonic and tornado forces, especially
in the West.
